    Study Notes

    Introduction to Electricity

    • Electricity is a form of energy resulting from friction, induction, or chemical change, characterized by its ability to produce magnetic, chemical, and radiant effects.
    • Defined as "electrons in motion," it involves the flow of electric force within conductors.

    Key Electrical Concepts

    • Electric Current: The movement or rate of electric charge in a conductor.
    • Voltage: The electrical pressure that drives electrons through a conductor.
    • Ampere (A): The unit measuring the strength of an electric current, named after André-Marie Ampère.
    • Ohm's Law: Indicates that higher voltage results in larger current, while higher resistance leads to lower current.
    • Resistance: The opposition or friction encountered by the flow of electric current, influenced by materials and dimensions of conductors.
    • Watt: A measure of power consumed, equivalent to the product of volts and amperes, named after James Watt.
    • Circuit: A pathway for transmitting electric current.

    Alternating Current

    • Alternating Current (AC) is measured in hertz (Hz), which represents cycles per second.

    Electrical Standards

    • Governed by the Department of Energy under the Republic Act 7638 (Energy Act of 1992) in the Philippines.
    • The supply authority ensures compliance with electrical standards.

    Types of Electricity Sources

    • Solar Energy: Also known as photovoltaic energy, harnesses sunlight to generate electricity.
    • Hydroelectric Power: Utilizes water flow to produce electricity, making it one of the oldest and largest renewable energy sources.
    • Nuclear Energy: Produced through fission (splitting atomic nuclei) or fusion (merging atomic nuclei), releasing energy from atomic reactions.
